I was extremely excited to see the four color buttons on these new devices please keep this as a standard , but was deflated by the 5-device limit. I have 6 pieces of equipment with 6 remotes some of these remotes must be on the same frequency which is a problem that they operate more than the one you want.
The Harmony and will function exactly as your original remotes do. It will send the same Infrared IR commands to control your devices, therefore if you have more than one device that work of the same IR codes, then both will respond. Using the RF Extender on the Harmony , you can assign each device to a specific port on the RF Extender and by sticking on the IR cables over the IR sensor on your devices, you can control each one independently without any interference.
The problem you are describing is exactly what a Logitech Harmony remote solves! We get lots of emails from customers interested in buying a Logitech Harmony remote but wanting to know whether our remotes work with their devices before making their final purchase.
Although we update our device list regularly, there are always new devices entering the market. Have no fear — a Harmony remote can easily be taught to control any device.

If we get a Harmony , will it show those button names? First let me start off by explaining that the Harmony remote is an Activity based remote. The buttons on your TV are then configured to control your devices. The buttons on the Harmony are customizable, so even if they are not there by default, or you want to change the function of a button, customizing the buttons is simple.
When the batteries are removed how long will the remote s retain their programming? The Harmony and each have 2MB of non-volatile flash memory. Your settings are stored on the flash memory and therefore, when the batteries are removed the Harmony remote does not loose any of your settings. I am just about to buy the Harmony What is the difference?

I checked the site and all are compatible, but I have questions about how the remote may or may not work with the actual program of windows media center. Same thing for movies…. I am using your mini dinovo right now, which i love for its keyboard function but unfortunately i cannot program it to turn the tv or the receiver on and off or volume control…which is a little aggravating.
You can customize each Activity as you would like. As for inputting text, it really depends on whether the IR receiver for your PC supports the feature.

Depending on which source it was on when the TV was turned off, the number count will need to be different to get to the intended source.
